July: Clean Habagat Windows, But the Swell Is Still Small
July is very similar to June in size: average swell 0.7m (2.5ft), period 8.9s. E swell accounts for 44.7%, ENE 29.8%, and ESE 9.2%. Most waves are in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range, with only a smattering of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) sets. The difference is that ideal offshore winds now reach 49%. The SW monsoon is in full swing, with SSW, SW, WSW, W and WNW directions combined making up a huge share of the wind distribution, and very few strong NE/ENE winds.
The result is a month of small but usually clean surf at Pirates Cove. Water is 29.4°C, air is 27.9°C, and rain averages 7.68mm/day. It is a good time to work on technique, but don't expect much size.
